A gentle breeze blew outside the window, and the room was warm and comfortable. Ye Zhao slept very well. When she woke up, it was almost two o'clock. She looked up and saw Jiang Che's profile. He was staring intently at the computer screen, seemingly lost in thought.
Ye Zhao smiled and reached out to touch his face, but Jiang Che grabbed her hand and kissed her.
"Awake?" Jiang Che looked down at her and asked softly.
"Hmm..." Perhaps because she had just woken up, Ye Zhao's voice was a little hoarse, giving off a lazy feeling.
Jiang Che felt that she was like a well-rested kitten at this moment, lazy, relaxed, and clingy.
He reached out and smoothed her long hair, touched her cheek, and held her hand. He felt that he loved every part of her, and he couldn't bear to let go of her or leave the bed.
Ye Zhao shifted her body and leaned into his arms, closing her eyes contentedly with a smile on her lips.
Jiang Che smiled, lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek: "Sleep a little longer..."
Ye Zhao opened her eyes, reached out and stroked his eyebrows and eyes, and said, "How can you be so handsome..."
Jiang Che couldn't help but laugh, but Ye Zhao thought he looked even more handsome when he laughed, as if the whole world had brightened up.
Her eyes darkened, and before Jiang Che could react, she tilted her head back to kiss his lips. Jiang Che was stunned for a moment, then held Ye Zhao's head and deepened the kiss.
...
Half an hour later, Ye Zhao straightened her clothes and walked out of Jiang Che's room. Downstairs, Xiao Lin and Yuan Bao were squatting on the corridor, fiddling with something. Not hearing her footsteps, Ye Zhao breathed a slight sigh of relief and walked over as if nothing had happened.
"What are you doing?"
Little Yuanbao turned around when he heard the sound: "Mom, come quick! Uncle Lin caught a bug for me..."
Ye Zhao: "...You guys have fun."
Before she even got close, upon hearing this, she turned and went straight into the kitchen.
Ye Zhao hadn't cooked in a long time, but today she was in a rare mood. She asked Xiao Lin to play with Yuan Bao and went into the kitchen herself.
When Jiang Che came in, Ye Zhao was peeling potatoes. Seeing him, she handed him the potatoes and peeler without saying a word: "Help me peel potatoes."
Jiang Che, wearing a woolen overcoat, stood there for a moment, holding the two items, then chuckled and began to ask for their advice.
Helping out was quite a challenge for him, since he had never lifted a finger in his life. Suddenly being exposed to these tasks left him a bit flustered. Ye Zhao was busy cooking and didn't have time to teach him everything, so in the end, Xiao Lin guided him slowly, teaching him how to peel vegetables, wash vegetables, and peel garlic...
Although Jiang Che had never been exposed to it before, he wouldn't use that as an excuse not to work. He just worked a little slower. Ye Zhao secretly observed him, a smile playing on her lips.
Jiang Che was busy with his work, but he would occasionally glance at Ye Zhao. Seeing her busy and serious expression in the kitchen, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
The two worked together, albeit not perfectly, and with Xiaolin's help, they managed to prepare a fairly substantial dinner.
Ye Zhao believes that life is all about eating and dressing, so she tries her best to make herself and those around her happy with their meals. She asks Xiao Lin to prepare a more substantial meal for everyone without wasting food, so that everyone feels satisfied and happy, and their sense of well-being is enhanced.
After a busy afternoon, Ye Zhao was covered in the smell of cooking oil. Her long hair was tied in a low ponytail and draped behind her head. She had a fine sheen of sweat on her face and was wearing an apron. She looked a little tired, but her expression was very happy as she invited everyone to eat together.
Jiang Che felt both sorry for Ye Zhao and happy. During the meal, he took great care of her, serving her food, pouring water, and picking out bones. He took meticulous care of her.
Cheng Yu watched all this, feeling both that the two of them were being too lovey-dovey and that Ye Zhao was glad she had found a boyfriend like Jiang Che. At least in her opinion, Jiang Che was such a good person that it was hard to describe. Apart from being a little busy with work, he had almost no bad qualities.
After finishing their meal, the group was chatting in the courtyard when someone suddenly walked in and asked loudly, "Hello! May I ask if Miss Ye Zhao lives here?"
Everyone was startled and quickly looked over. It was Kobayashi who was quick-witted and stood up to ask, "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"
The man, dressed in a suit and tie with a polite smile, glanced at the group behind Xiaolin and said, "Miss Ye Zhao's clothes have arrived. Where is she?"
After he finished speaking, Jiang Che realized what he meant, gave Mu Xu a look, and then helped Ye Zhao stand up.
Mu Xu caught his gaze and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Hello, I'm Mu Xu."
The visitor was surprised: "Mr. Mu, may I ask which clothes you ordered..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Che, who was behind Mu Xu, said, "Bring them all in."
The person paused for a moment, glanced at Mu Xu, and then replied, "Okay!"
Mu Xu turned and went out with the people who came. Before everyone in the courtyard could figure out what was going on, several young men in suits and ties suddenly walked in from outside, carrying one exquisite box after another. Some of them were not even filled with anything, but were just wrapped in clothes hangers and dust bags and brought in.
Ye Zhao looked completely bewildered and glanced at Jiang Che, asking, "What's going on?"
Jiang Che smiled and said, "I ordered a few outfits for you online before..."
Ye Zhao looked at the people coming and going in the courtyard, and the ever-increasing pile of boxes and clothes racks, and was speechless for a moment before asking, "You call this... how many pieces?"
Jiang Che smiled and said, "Just a few pieces for each season, plus some jewelry and stuff..."
Ye Zhao's lips twitched, and she said bluntly, "If others see this, they might think I'm being kept by a sugar daddy! That I've found a rich and eligible bachelor..."
Jiang Che paused for a moment, then replied, "What's wrong with buying my girlfriend a gift? I'd like to see who dares to talk nonsense..."
Cheng Yu circled the piles of clothes twice, clicking her tongue in admiration: "Wow, Jiang Che, you're quite generous. This brand of clothing must be custom-made; most people can't even get their size..."
Jiang Che had been busy with this for several days and spent a lot of money to finally meet the designer, not to mention ordering these clothes. However, he didn't mention it at all, and just smiled and said to Ye Zhao, "Go and try them on and see if you like them."
A woman in a suit stood to the side, smiling. Hearing this, she smiled and said to Ye Zhao, "Ms. Ye, shall I help you try on the clothes?"
Ye Zhao glanced at Jiang Che, nodded in response to his expectant gaze, and led the woman to the lounge.
Aunt Zhang and Yang Juan stood aside with envious looks. Mu Xu brought over several booklets and handed one to each of Cheng Yu, Xiao Lin, Yang Juan, and Aunt Zhang, saying, "Please take a look and see if there are any clothes you like."
Cheng Yu asked bluntly, "What does this mean?"
Mu Xu smiled and said, "To thank you all for your continued support, President Jiang is giving you all some small gifts."
